154.95 is what percent of 219.82 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 219.82 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 219.82, so we can write it down as 100%=219.82.
4. We know, that x% equals 154.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=154.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=219.82
2) x%=154.95
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=219.82/154.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 154.95 is what percent of 219.82

100%/x%=219.82/154.95
(100/x)*x=(219.82/154.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4186511777993*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4186511777993) to get x
100/1.4186511777993=x
70.489491402056=x
x=70.489491402056

now we have:
